Tomorrow is never guaranteed for any of us. It’s a tragedy to bury a child. I can’t think of any worse a pain.
Go hug your kids tonight extra tight!
CBS News reports a Michigan high school's star basketball player collapsed on the court and later died after making a game-winning layup in overtime to cap his team's perfect season.
Wes Leonard of Fennville High died Thursday night, Holland Hospital spokeswoman Deb Patterson said. A cause of death was determined to be an enlarged heart.
Paramedics performed CPR on the 16-year-old before he was pronounced dead at the hospital, Patterson said.
Leonard, a junior, was "by far the best player on that basketball team — outstanding athlete," said coach Mike Miller, whose Bridgman team lost 57-55 to Fennville Thursday night.
"All of Bridgman's thoughts and prayers are going toward Fennville right now," Miller told The Associated Press Friday morning.
Leonard was a multi-sports star at Fenville High School - as a quarterback, he helped take the football team to the playoffs, CBS affiliate WWMT in Kalamazoo reports. (Watch video at bottom of story).
Grief counselors were on hand at the high school on Friday, the district said.
